Musings of a Simple Sojourner: And The Plot Thickens...

Well hello again from the distant land of haggis and whiskey!

The days have been filled with lots of scenic walks and the occasional pub. A couple nights ago we went to a tavern that is right next to the hostel and where we suspected we would find many young travelers who we could befriend. When we walked into the tavern, there were only a handful of middle aged people. We sat outside for a bit drinking some lovely beer and soon met three Norwegians who were around our age. Everything was well until people started to bash on the U.S. of A. After a bit of haggling, we decided to call it a night. The next day Kalee and I watched the world cup game at a "local sports bar," the people didn't seem too into the sports though...Needless to say, the night life here isn't quite what I had expected from the infamous "Europe."

Some interesting news on the home front... I will be acquiring another travel partner! Jason Chung is coming to visit!! What started as a joke answer (You should come over here) to the occasional "I miss you so much" turned into a plane ticket in the beginning of August!! I could not be more excited for his arrival and am excited for the adventures we will have. We decided to go to Paris the last week that we're over here, which should be nothing short of amazing. Kalee and I have also decided to expand our travel plans as well. In contemplating the adventure ahead of us, we decided that we should take advantage of being on this continent as much as we can, so after we spend 2 weeks in Italy, we're taking a €7.00 flight to Barcelona and spending a bit of time over there before we head back to Inverness for the Belladrum Festival.

It's late, and I sense that i'm losing my wit, so I think I'll end this post with some photos of our latest adventures. Hope all is well on the home front! Miss you all.
